can't you contact the developer ? see your other thread for site

about your question, it would be better to provide more information about your problem,
depending from problem, you may know the properties of a chemical (critical, volumetric...

as alternative you may wish to consider simplified models, with these you can try to compute the integral analytically (solving differential mass balances at specified conditions), an example is the Rayleigh equation but several other cases are...
you know the initial conditions (compositions and volume of vessel),
at each time step you subtract a predefined amount (vapor and/or liquid phase) ,
from mass balance calculate and define the new composition (remember you have fixed volume for vessel and different specific volumes for vapor /...
you know initial composition and, from mass balance, you can calculate compositions (vapor and liquid at equilibria) at different time steps,
a simple model could be based on ideal gas law and vapor pressure of different components but if you need accurate results consider a EOS,
with simple...
Iomcube,
Not sure if that is what you are looking for but there is a simple Excel page which calculates the properties in different zones (see image)
it works with all versions of Prode Properties, including free...
perhaps you can estimate binary fractions based on definition of loading,
for carbon dioxide, monoethanolamine and water ternary probably you need a model with support for electrolytes as the E-NRTL , however these models are complex including many equilibrium contants and I doubt you can...
the normal procedure is to divide exchanger in zones and then calculate conditions and transport proerties in each zone, with those values you can estimate velocities, Prandtl Numbers (or equivalen parameters and so on...)
for that you need to solve phase equilibria at specified H (with a H-P...
simulators can include several models for mixtures, for example my copy of Prode Properties includes several models discussed in The Properties of Gases and Liquids (which I adopt as reference in many cases).
Many different rules have been proposed (in literature) for example, for ideal liquid...
I have used the integral method (HEM model) in Prode for pressures up to 900-1000 Bar, in principle there are no limits but I never found such high values (3000 Bar) as reported for this application..
when sizing for two phase flow you can expect higher errors,
don't know the very last ISA edition but, according my knowledge, ISA formulations are not reliable for two phase flow,
when possible I ask manufaturer to provide calc's,
anyway there are a few methods as HNE-DS which may be...
most simulators solve a blowdown mainly from a thermodynamic point of view,
meaning at n steps (P initial->P final) a mass & heat balance is solved in the way suggested by T2k,
to understand how it works you can solve for example a series of H-V flash or some equivalent operations,
being...
to start you can adopt the same procedures but calculating fugacity of vapor and liquid phase with a EOS such as Peng Robinson or Soave,
this requires some initialization for vapor and liquid compositions (see Wilson correlation for example)
Details are discussed in many books, for example The...
yes, you should be more specific,
however I have utilized Matlab in union with a thermodynamic library (Prode Properties) for simple problems, Matlab includes good minimizers but you need to compile in order to get reasonably fast executions.
Another possibility is that you compile and link with...
possibly you can validate yourself the solution,
as first step check predicted densities for vapor and liquid phases
then get compositions for liquid and vapor phase at equilibria
since for vapor and liquid H = SUM(Wi*Hi) where Wi is weight fraction of component i
and Hi is enthalpy of component...
check the values predicted for density of vapor and liquid phases,
while I agree that, in general, for vapor and liquid in equilibria Hvapor > Hliquid there may be specific conditions or wrong roots selected by the procedure
for fire case with vapor only, under certain conditions (predicted stress above critical values) a simple rupture disc (burst disc) may result a relatively inexpensive and reliable solution.
Dejan,
reading your post it seems that you consider the constant volume procedure applicable to vapor state only,
but the blog shows an application of the method for vapor + liquid,
in fact Prode solves the V-P flash operation with multiphase equilibria, note that a free version is available...
for vapor phase (no vapor-liquid equilibria) you do not need a simulator,
you may estimate temperature inside vessel assuming constant Z
Pin*Vin=Zin*R*Tin
Prel*Vrel=Zin*R*Trel
and since Vin = Vrel
Trel = Tin * Prel / Pin
where in is initial condition and rel is release condition
this method is...
